EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable page from the Codex Forster II, specifically c. 136r, created by none other than the genius artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci. Housed in the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this drawing exemplifies Da Vinci's mastery of multiple disciplines. Entitled "How to calculate the center of gravity" this artwork is a testament to Da Vinci's insatiable curiosity and his relentless pursuit of knowledge. The page itself is a visual representation of his scientific exploration into understanding balance and stability. Rendered in High Renaissance style, with hints of both Renaissance-Baroque influences, this piece embodies the artistic trends prevalent during Europe's first and second millenniums AD. Its creation dates back to around 1493-1505 when Da Vinci was at the height of his creative powers. The photograph captures every intricate detail meticulously penned by Da Vinci's hand – an exquisite blend of writing, instrument precision, communication through visuals, drawing techniques, and graphics. It serves as a window into not only his artistic prowess but also his analytical mind that constantly sought to unravel nature's mysteries. As we gaze upon this image today - taken in 2001 - we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one man's quest for knowledge that transcended boundaries between art and science. Leonardo da Vinci remains an eternal symbol of human ingenuity whose work continues to inspire generations across centuries.
